Currency - Commodity Price Relationship

Benefiting from Forex currency trading involving predicting the market movements and positioning oneself to profit from that movement. A trader should be aware of the basic currency market indicators and factors that contribute to both short-term and long-term market movements. One such thing trader should know is the relationship between some currencies to changing commodity prices.


Oil and Japanese Yen Relationship: Crude oil price changes and JPY shows a negative correlation because Japan imports almost all crude oil it needs. Thus theoretically CAD/JPY is one of the most sensitive currency pair with respect to crude oil prices.


The Oil and Canadian Dollar Relationship: Over the past decade CAD and crude oil price have shown a positive correlation exceeding 80%. Canada is the 7th largest producer of crude oil, has the second biggest oil serve in the world and is the most significant oil supplier to the United States. These factors contribute to greater co-relation between oil price and CAD. USD also shows high positive correlation to crude oil prices as USD is the currency used to determine crude oil price.


The Gold and Australian Dollar Relationship: Like oil CAD relationship, gold price and AUD shows a high positive correlation because Australia is the 3rd largest producer of gold. A similar correlation can be seen with gold and NZD, this is because the close relationship between NZD and AUD because of the geographical proximity which makes Australia the prominent destination for New Zealand exporters.
